southsider2k5 Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 At this stage they need to just take the list of numbers and either split the difference, or give each side half of their asks. If they fuck this up, baseball will get burned to the ground, no matter how hard owners have tried to set this up for failure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest gap on the financial side seems to be the non-arb pool. MLB's latest was $40M flat through 5 years while MLBPA's starts at $65M and rises to $85M. I anticipate several back and forths on this today, and we'll be waiting until the next imaginary deadline. This could be the one thing that keeps a deal from being made today. Unless they want to argue about something else we haven't heard about yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really split that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really split that. Sure you can. If part counts against CBT but not all, you can give players numbers they want and give some cushion to owners. Even 65m divided over 30 clubs is about 2m and change. If they agreed to 50m rising to 70m and it would count as 1m against CBT for each team, the players are basically redistributing about half of their own money to pay for it and owners ate paying other half in new money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I love Keith Law @Orn L. Yes. Manfred said when he got the Commissioner's job that he was determined to get an international draft. Now they're throwing it into CBA talks like it was an afterthought. He's always wanted this, and the reason is that it saves owners money. You should assume anything the owners present in CBA talks is there to reduce their spending on players, and work backwards from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
